On a lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry to an approximate 9” x 12” rectangle and place on a cookie sheet. Top with an even layer of onions and shredded Havarti Cheese. Arrange the anchovy fillets in a diagonal pattern in rows approximately 1 1/2” apart; place olive and tomato halves in the centre of each diagonal square. Sprinkle with capers (optional).

Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until crust is golden and crispy. Remove from oven, top with fresh parsley, slice and serve.
